Ever since i’ve launched my A7RV article and A7RV focus stacking video I have been getting the identical query over and over: ‘How do you open your RAW information in Lightroom’? Sure, the A7RV isn’t out within the US but, however many people Europeans have already got it. However you possibly can’t open your information as a result of there isn’t any RAW converter out but. Nevertheless, there IS a method to open the information.
The A7RV sensor is identical because the A7RIV. So after I obtained this digital camera a number of months earlier than it is launch, I had the identical drawback as you: I could not open my information, or so I believed. I’ve examined unreleased cameras earlier than with comparable sensors than its predecessors and I remembered a trick: You’ll be able to really rename the EXIF information of the information to make software program assume its an older digital camera. This solely works when the sensor is identical.
that is how one can do it (on MAC, needs to be comparable on PC):
– Obtain and set up Exiftool
– Open Terminal. You will discover it in Purposes -> Utilities
– Now use the next command:
geolocationtool -sonymodelid=”ILCE-7RM4″ -ext ARW -r DIRECTORY
DIRECTORY is the place the place your information are positioned. mainly you possibly can sort simply ‘exiftool -sonymodelid=”ILCE-7RM4″ -ext ARW -r’ after which drag the folder from finder within the Terminal window, and the listing path will then be added to your command line. That is the best means.
– This can convert all EXIF information from the information in that listing (and subdirectories). You’ll get new information, and the previous information will keep there as effectively. They will be referred to as _original, simply incase you’ll need them sooner or later. The brand new information are merely the identical information, however with EXIF information renamed. Now you can load these information in your favourite picture modifying app!
Hope that helps and luxuriate in your A7RV!
